Carl Jung, the Man for Our Time
Uncle Based
In the 1930s, Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung held a seminar on Nietzsche’s Zarathustra. Notes of the seminar have been published in a 2-volume, 1600-page tome delivering deep insights about humanity. Jung concludes that Nietzsche had been quasi possessed by the demon Zoroaster and became its mouthpiece.
However, Carl Jung also reveals himself as an incredibly based right-wing thinker who rejected equality and miscegenation. He was an aristocrat who would have been cancelled in our time for “hate speech".
On miscegenation:
There is also that danger in the mixture of races, against which our instincts always set up a resistance. Sometimes one thinks it is snobbish prejudice, but it is an instinctive prejudice, and the fact is that if distant races are mixed, the fertility is very low, as one sees with the white and the negro; a negro woman very rarely conceives from a white man. If she does, a mulatto is the result and he is apt to be a bad character. ... So with a great effort you can bring oil and water together for a while: you make a sort of foam, an emulsion, but then it separates again. That is the cause of many cases of insanity. A great difference of race nearly always causes a certain fragile, sensitive disposition because the units are not well glued together-that is at least a way of expressing these very difficult problems of psychopathology.
On ruling people:
So against the monster of the people you have the monster of the state, and that is simply a necessary evil; there are no other means. You cannot rule a people by decent means, because that monster fights you with the most indecent ways of a cunning animal; you cannot keep it in order by good intentions and pious words and nice deeds because they won't be appreciated. The people only appreciate it when they beat or when they are beaten. That is a fact, and it is perfectly ridiculous to think of ruling people by kindness and wisdom: that is just air.
On big cities:
Man has been deprived of his masculinity through the circumstances, through the social conditions. The big cities, the great accumulations emasculate him; men cannot afford to be men in large societies. ... individuals in big cities are wiped out, becoming just particles of a herd; a man in a simple uniform dress denotes that he feels himself like any other man, one uniformed atom among millions.
On Wagner being a transvestite:
You know, when Wagner was composing that aria where young Siegfried is forging his sword with a hammer and anvil, he was sitting in his study on silk cushions with millions of ribbons, in a silk dressing gown and a velvet cap. The air was filled with perfumes and he was adorned exactly like a woman, the most grotesque sight you could imagine. That was his reality, he was completely identical with the anima, he was a transvestit which means a man who conceals himself in women's clothes, enjoying playing the role of a woman.
On the belief in equality:
The actual mob consists of cave men. The idea that every man has the same value might be a great metaphysical truth, yet in this space-and-time world it is the most tremendous illusion; nature is thoroughly aristocratic and it is the wildest mistake to assume that every man is equal. That is simply not true. Anybody in his sound senses must know that the mob is just mob. It is inferior, consisting of inferior types of the human species. If they have immortal souls at all then it is God's business, not ours; we can leave it to him to deal with their immortal souls which are presumably far away, as far away as they are in animals. I am quite inclined to attribute immortal souls to animals; they are just as dignified as the inferior man. That we should deal with the inferior man on our own terms is all wrong. To treat the inferior man as you would treat a superior man is cruel; worse than cruel, it is nonsensical, idiotic.
